    If A : B = 2 : 3, B : C = 2 : 3 and C : D = 3 : 4, then A : D = ?
    Question

    If A : B = 2 : 3, B : C = 2 : 3 and C : D = 3 : 4, then A : D = ?

    A.

    3 : 1

    B.

    2 : 4

    C.

    1 : 3

    D.

    1 : 2

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    A : B = 2 : 3
    B : C = 2 : 3
    C : D = 3 : 4

    Solution:
    A : B = 2 : 3
    B : C = 2 : 3
    Make B equal in both

    LCM of 3 and 2 = 6
    So rewrite:
    A : B = 4 : 6
    B : C = 6 : 9
    So A : B : C = 4 : 6 : 9

    C : D = 3 : 4

    C = 9 in previous ratio, so scale to match
    Multiply C : D = 3 : 4 by 3

    C : D = 9 : 12
    So A : B : C : D = 4 : 6 : 9 : 12

    A : D = 4 : 12 = 1 : 3
